A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 369 Miss Xinli, Hold Me Tight!

Jiang Xinli suppressed her discomfort and reached out to tug at Lanse:
What exactly happened between the Ocean Star Continent Clan and the Sea Clan a thousand years ago?

If Lancer's "heinous crimes committed by the land race" refers to the cruel practice of combining human bodies with deep-sea animals using genetic fusion technology, then the answer lies in the fact that Lancer used genetic fusion technology to combine certain organs and limbs of deep-sea animals with humans.

So, are those mutated sea creatures with human limbs another form of revenge from the sea race?

Or are those also reverse experiments conducted by the Lu Clan?
After all, those mutated sea creatures were not under the control of the Dolphin Knight when they attacked the warships.

Jiang Xinli was completely baffled.

Lancer did not speak.

He frowned and fell silent, his other hand gripping the gilded sword, the knuckles turning white from the force.

The room was dimly lit and filled with instruments and rotting, suspended matter.

Jiang Xinli didn't see the fleeting hatred and anger in the young man's eyes.

“Miss Xinli, shall we leave here first and then discuss this topic, okay?” Lanse took a deep breath, glanced around the room, and said gently.

Jiang Xinli nodded, "Mm."

Her mental fortitude is now far better than when she first returned to interstellar space.

However, the scene before her was more terrifying than any of the few horror movie scripts she had encountered back on ancient Earth.

If she stays any longer, she might develop claustrophobia.

The two had just stepped out of the room when a huge, dark shadow, as thick as a bucket, twisted its body and lunged toward Jiang Xinli.

As soon as Jiang Xinli released the dodder vines from her fingers, Lancer had already pulled her into his arms with one hand and drawn the blue energy sword from his waist.

"Swish—" The blue light drew several beautiful arcs in the seawater, cutting the dark shadow into countless fragments.

A dark red, blackish, foul-smelling liquid spread through the seawater.

Using the faint light from her sword, Jiang Xinli recognized the dark shape as a snake.

Perhaps because the Mystic Shadow Beast form was a snake, a trace of worry flashed through her mind, "Are there snakes in the contaminated area too?"

“It’s a mutated sea serpent.” Lancer said, picking her up with one hand. “Miss Xinli, this blood will attract deep-sea sharks and pollutants. We have to leave quickly.”

"Hold me tight," he said softly, taking a long stride and hurrying back the way he came.

"Okay." Jiang Xinli hugged his neck.

She glanced at her personal terminal; it was almost midnight.

The photon signal has not been recovered.

She was a little worried.

I told the other men that we should just wait for her quietly on the way.

I didn't expect it to be so late.

Hopefully, Sheng Tianze and his group will not act rashly.

A piercing, faint roar, accompanied by a strange crackling sound, suddenly came from all directions.

Jiang Xinli looked up and glanced around, then frowned.

The surroundings were dark.

But the rotting seaweed floating in the seawater began to sway in a strange arc.

Further away, in the area closer to the ground, the color is very dark.

It looked as if some kind of sea creature had overturned the silt and gravel.

“Miss Xinli,” the noble youth’s handsome, fair face instantly became solemn, “it seems that a mid- to high-level pollutant has arrived.”

"A mid-to-high level contaminant?" Jiang Xinli was startled.

The contaminated creatures and the mutated beasts look the same.

However, the mutated beasts only attack humans.

The contaminant can not only attack people, but also infect them.

“You’d better not use your powers. Leave them to me,” Lancer said calmly, gripping his sword tightly. “Remember, never let these corrupted entities touch you.” Before he finished speaking, a glacial blue rune lit up on his forehead.

Jiang Xinli felt that the glacial blue energy light surrounding her body had become slightly stronger.

Meanwhile, Lancer's mental rage level was slowly rising.

"Hold me tight," he urged again.

"Okay." Jiang Xinli had just finished replying when she saw shadowy, menacing black figures rapidly surrounding the two of them.

Within the shadows, thousands upon thousands of crimson lights flickered.

Most of them are deep-sea creatures with terrifying tentacles.

The malevolent entity, with its sinister gaze, greedily looked at the female Lu Clan member with the dark purple water-repelling pearl on her body.

As if receiving some kind of command, all the shadowy figures waved their tentacles and pounced on Jiang Xinli with a "sizzle."

Lancer hugged Jiang Xinli tightly, bent his legs slightly, and with a powerful push, his slender figure leaped nimbly, sweeping his energy sword in all directions—

"Boom!" The contaminant that rushed close instantly turned into countless fragments.

Pollutants keep coming one after another.

Soon, Jiang Xinli noticed that the light from the energy sword in Lancer's hand was starting to fade.

The glacial blue light surrounding her body was the same.

The seawater became increasingly dark and foul-smelling.

Just as the Nth wave of contaminants was about to attack Lancer, his body fell back to the seabed, and his sword was sheathed.

Then, with a slight parting of her thin lips, a melodious song, carrying the unique sound waves of a dolphin, spread out from all directions.

As if possessed, the pollutants frantically turned around and swam rapidly toward the depths of the sea.

Lancer's brow relaxed slightly, and he said calmly, "Alright."

Jiang Xinli exclaimed in surprise, "Lanse, you're amazing!"

She asked, "Is this kind of chanting attack a unique ability of your dolphin race?"

“Hmm.” Lancer nodded. “It should not be used unless absolutely necessary.”

"Miss Xinli, would you like to explore other places?" He looked at Jiang Xinli, his voice clear and gentle.

The two faces were very close, and Jiang Xinli could only see clearly in the dim light that the handsome young nobleman's face was completely bloodless and very pale.

She was slightly startled. "Lancer, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, I just used up too much energy just now. I need to get back to the deep-sea territory as soon as possible to replenish some energy." Lancer smiled slightly and said apologetically, "It seems that I can no longer accompany Miss Xinli on her exploration of the contaminated area."

Jiang Xinli seemed to understand something. "So, all your abilities come from the energy in the Holy Domain?"

A thought popped into her mind: Sheng Tianze and the others' use of their special abilities had a certain cooldown period.

This CD value is fine as long as the time interval is reached.

The energy of the deep-sea creatures has no cooldown value, but they cannot store too much.

Once it leaves the deep sea territory and is no longer nourished by the sacred tree, it will be exhausted.

Therefore, the sea creatures nourished the sacred tree with emotional energy.

The sacred tree provides supernatural energy to the male sea creatures.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like a logical loop.

However, the black dragon male in the Sacred Tree Illusion—

As Jiang Xinli's mind raced, she saw Lanse suddenly frown, clutch his chest, and cough up a mouthful of blood.

She exclaimed, "Lancer, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Lancer wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and smiled apologetically.

"Miss Xinli, the remaining energy within me may not be enough to protect you for much longer."
